The Pittsburgh Penguins suddenly have themselves a whack of goaltending depth. We know which backstop the Pens would ideally like to ship out of town, Tristan Jarry. But sometimes, the best laid plans don't come to fruition. According to Penguins insider, Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now , it just might be another netminder that would make the most sense to trade. He notes that with young Sergei Murashov off to an excellent start to his career thus far, GM Kyle Dubas might w...

The Edmonton Oilers often tend to shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to trades. Look no further than the Griffin Reinhart trade at the 2015 NHL Draft. The Oilers sent the 16th and 33rd overall picks to the New York Islanders for a young defender struggling in the American Hockey League. At the…

On November 22nd in 1990, the Minnesota North Stars traded goaltender Kari Takko to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenseman Bruce Bell. The swap would forever be known as the Takko Bell trade, playing off the famous California-born fast food chain Taco Bell founded by Glen Bell in 1962. Bruce Bell never skated with the North Stars, playing his remaining eight seasons in the

The Edmonton Oilers’ road trip had so many chapters that it read like a Russian novel. But after they punted Sergei Bobrovsky out of the game in the second period on Saturday night, and then hung on to seal the victory, I’m guessing they felt equal parts satisfaction, relief, and sore muscles on the flight…

The Edmonton Oilers earned a hard-fought win over the Florida Panthers on Saturday night. It was their first regulation victory in the month of November. With a 10-9-5 record through seven weeks of play, these Stanley Cup hopefuls haven’t really looked like a serious contender just yet. The goaltending has been shaky, the defence has…

Through the first quarter of the 2025-26 season, the Edmonton Oilers are facing a familiar problem: an inconsistent goaltending duo that isn’t giving them enough. The results continue to trend in the wrong direction for Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard, and the organization’s patience may be wearing thin. TSN Hockey insider Darren Dreger discussed potential…

There are Xs and Os. There are style, tactics, and a game plan. And then there’s will. There’s want. There’s taking punishment and doling out punishment. Maybe with the Oilers set to play their seventh game in eleven calendar days, Saturday night’s game won’t feature as much of this intense battle — but I hope…

On November 21st in 2010, Anaheim Ducks forward Corey Perry scored an own goal when his offensive zone centering pass traveled the length of the ice into Jonas Hiller's empty net with 16 seconds to play.
Perry's own goal, credited to Tom Gilbert of the Edmonton Oilers, was met with laughs from the last place visitors and some taunting from rookie Taylor Hall. Perry made up for the miscue by

On Friday evening, the Edmonton Oilers made a surprising move, calling up rookie forward Connor Clattenburg from the American Hockey League.

No team in the NHL is as desperate for goaltending as the Edmonton Oilers , despite how Calvin Pickard played against the Tampa Bay Lightning in their previous game that should have been a win. The Oilers have two goalies, Pickard and Stuart Skinner, who they can't trust and something has to be done to fix that quickly, as the team isn't holding a playoff spot at the moment and it feels different than the last two seasons. Darren Dreger said, "I can't imagine (Stan) Bowman isn't making calls. ...

Well now. Welcome back, Nick Paul.
The Tampa Bay Lightning forward punctuated his first game of the season with a game-tying goal with 2:32 to go in the game. That set the table for Jake Guentzel’s overtime winner on a wake-the-neighbors sequence of plays that started with Andrei Vasilevskiy literally saving the game with a desperation left-pad save and ended with Darren Raddysh’s perfect geed to Guentzel on a two-on-one break the other way.
Paul was in the line-up after missing the ...

Based on a few coincidental factors it appears that Nick Paul is going to be back in the Tampa Bay Lightning line-up tonight as they face the Edmonton Oilers. First off, the Lightning re-assigned Scott Sabourin to Syracuse yesterday, indicating that yet another forward was healthy following the return of Anthony Cirelli and Dominic James. Second, at the morning skate, Paul led the stretching from the center of the ice, an unofficial position of honor usually reserved for players getting called...
